Well what about the cafes in denmark where you can buy pot and smoke it. How can shopowners legally sell it and people freely smoke it in the cafes if it not legal?
Has things changed recently in denmark?. Have they been listening to some boorish prunes?. By the way these cafes actually attracts many tourists from around the world
Denmark is NOT a hotspot for stoners seeking pot cafes. Not in the least.
Overall, Scandinavia has a different look on most street drugs, if compared to the US or the UK.
In my experience (having lived in US and UK) doing pot or even heavier stuff like LSD or shrooms is over all "OK", it is part of being young...as long as you grow out of it (especially if you are middleclass. It is a "cute" rebellious thing).
THAT is not the case in most of Scandinavia.
Heck, I know fairly conservative christians here in the US who used to smoke pot every other day when they were young. They do not really regret it either, it is an non-issue.
Finland has got the best education in the WORLD!! let me say that again, THE ENTIRE WORLD!! and the finns have the best army since they border Russia. Finland is also in 2011 getting land back from russia that finland lost in world war 2 which will make it the largest of all the scandinavian countries and sooner or later the richest in the amount of supplies the land has inside of it.
Norway of course, they have the best social welfare in the world !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Norway, but how does having the "best social welfare in the world" (in your opinion) make them the "Best Scandinavian country"??? Have you ever been to Norway?
Scandanavia is best when taken as a whole. all countries are special in their own ways they complement one another.
as a whole they form a powerhouse.
population 25.4 million
2008 nom.gdp 1555 billion (borderline top 10 next to Brazil and Canada)
exports 408.8 billion (rank 7 in the world about 106 billion less than Japan, 41.1 % as large as the US)
come companies headquartered there
Nokia, Ericsson, Volvo, Statoil (world's 13th largest oil and gas company)
Finland has got the best education in the WORLD!! let me say that again, THE ENTIRE WORLD!!
This is true.

As much as I support the Finnish armed forces I don't think you can back this claim up. The Russians wouldn't have a cakewalk if it came to it, but I would favour the Israelis, the Brits, the Americans, or any other army with actual combat experience over Finland.
